Occupations: individual licensing and registration; boiler installer license; provide for. Amends sec. 939 of 2016 PA 407 (MCL 339.5939) & adds secs. 926, 926a & 926b.
HB 4897 creates new licensing categories for boiler installers in Michigan, establishing five distinct classes (2B through 5B) and a separate class P license. These classes define specific installation capabilities, such as Class 2B for small boilers and Class 5B for nuclear boiler systems. The bill requires that anyone installing or altering boilers must hold the appropriate license class, and permits for such work cannot be issued without it. This directly affects boiler installers, their employers, and the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, which will enforce these licensing requirements.
